Prof. McGonagall's Office$2$[7]

[Professor McGonagall]

This is Minerva McGonagall's office. Not a play room. If you have any questions or concerns of a student, homework or otherwise, please report them to me here. I usually do not head off to bed till around 1 in the morning, feel free to stop by that late only if it is a dire emergency. I am fairly grumpy when awoken from sleep. But I do enjoy questions and conversation, so feel free to stop by any other time if you need some help or company.

*Knocks*
Professor? Can I have a word please?

[Professor McGonagall]

*Looking up from her pile of Essays to grade, she sees one of her students*

Of course Miss Bell, have a seat.

*Awaiting her to sit down, she sets her quill down, and sits straight in her chair*

[katiebabe]

Thank You *Walks in and sits down*
The thing is Professor...*Takes deep breath* I don't know if you have already seen it but on the doors and on all the tables in the Great Hall there is a message...something about the Heiress of the Chamber or something stupid like that. But the wierd thing is...it shows Harry doing it...but Harry couldnt possibleable done it because I dont think he has been back to Hogwarts and also Harry wouldn't do a thing like that because...well its Harry *giggles*
So what do you reckon Professor *Looks at Professor McGonagall straight in the eyes and can't help but laugh*

[Professor McGonagall]

You find this amusing Miss Bell?

*holding a straight face for a moment, but then a small smile paints her face*

*After the amusement leaves her system, her thoughtful face returns*

You are right Katie, Harry has not been here in a long while. And with everything happening at Grimmauld Place he's been too busy for such a thing.

*looking back down at her papers, she grabs her quill, marking an error on one of her students essays*

Do you have an idea of who did such a thing then katie?

[katiebabe]

*Smiles*
Yes, I think it was Chelly Stone and the Natasia person.
*Looks down at her feet*
I also saw Holly Daniels skipping class the other day
*Mentally hits herself because she has just realised the only was she could of seen someone skipping class was if she was skipping herself*

[Professor McGonagall]

*Arches a brow*

Skipping classes? And how may I ask did this information come about Katie?

[katiebabe]

*Stutters* Um hmm w-w-well you see I-I-I was skipping class aswell Professor.
*Looks down at her feet again

[Professor McGonagall]

*setting the quill back down on her desk, she takes a moment to consider her prefect skipping classes*

And why was the gryffindor prefect not in class?

*Knowing that she had skipped, but felt wasn't so angry because she had admitted to such a thing*

[katiebabe]

*Still not looking up*
I was bored Professor

[Professor McGonagall]

You were bored

*she echoed, then leaned back in her chair, her hands in her lap*

You are the gryffindor prefect Miss Bell. I expect you to uphold the school rules and to be an example to others around you. Being bored of classes is not an excuse to ditch and run.

If you are to be in charge of the younger students then you are to be attending all of your classes unless previously discussed with a professor.

*Leaning forward a bit, placing her arms on the desk*

Am I understood?

[katiebabe]

*Looks up and smirks*
Yes Professor

[Professor McGonagall]

Good

*Leaning back in her chair*

So this evening you are to go to Grimmauld Place and serve detention.

*thinking of what she heard about last night, knowing Harry, a prefects presence would surely keep things quiet*

You are to keep things settled down at Grimmauld Place, tell Harry that you are under his watch and you are to clean up that kitchen of his.

You are to show up at exactly 7pm, 7:30 at the latest, I will be owling Mister Potter before and after tonight so I will know if you show up. Understood Miss Bell?

[katiebabe]

*Smiles, knowing that there could be worse detentions that she could do.* Yes Professor. Professor, you do know that Harry will probably being talking to me the whole night and i may not be able to clean to the best of my ability.

[Professor McGonagall]

*Smiles, knowing Katie understood her purpose for being there*

As long as Mister Potter and Miss Weasley have a distance of at least a foot, then I won't mind if a few dust balls are still hanging under the cabinets.

*Standing up*

Now if you'll excuse me Miss Bell, I suggest that you rest up, and as I have some important business to attend to.

*Walks to the fireplace, and grabs some Powder*

Goodday Miss Bell

*throwing the Powder*

Hogsmeade!
